This specification defines the features and syntax for
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Tiny, Version 1.2, a language for describing
two-dimensional vector graphics in XML, combined with raster graphics and multimedia.
Its goal is to provide the ability to create a whole range of graphical
content, from static images to animations to interactive Web applications.
SVG 1.2 Tiny is a profile of SVG intended for implementation on a range of
devices, from cellphones and PDAs to laptop and desktop computers, and thus
includes a subset of the features included in
SVG 1.1 Full,
along with new features to extend the capabilities of SVG. Further extensions
are planned in the form of modules which will be compatible with
SVG 1.2 Tiny, and which when combined with this specification, will match and
exceed the capabilities of
SVG 1.1 Full.

Status of this document

This section describes the status of this document at the time of its
publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current
W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be
found in the W3C technical reports index
at http://www.w3.org/TR/.

This is the 22 December 2008 Recommendation of SVG Tiny 1.2.

This document has been reviewed by W3C Members, by software developers, and by
other W3C groups and interested parties, and is endorsed by the Director as a
W3C Recommendation. It is a stable document and may be used as reference
material or cited from another document. W3C's role in making the Recommendation
is to draw attention to the specification and to promote its widespread
deployment. This enhances the functionality and interoperability of the Web.

The SVG Working Group
working closely with the developer community, has produced an
implementation
report to prove the implementability of this specification.
Previous drafts for this specification resulted in a number of comments
which have been addressed by the
SVG Working Group, with a
Disposition of Comments
available on the W3C SVG site. A list of
changes made since the Proposed Recommendation Working Draft is available in
Appendix T.

As described in the abstract, this specification represents the core for a set
of modular extensions, but is named SVG Tiny for historical reasons, as a profile
for mobile devices. Future versions of this specification will maintain
backwards compatibility with previous versions of the language, in a continuing
line of technology, but will bear the name "SVG Core" to represent this
relationship.

Please send questions or comments regarding the SVG 1.2 Tiny specification

archived and
acceptance of this archiving policy is requested automatically upon first

Acknowledgments

The SVG Working Group would like to acknowledge the
many people outside of the SVG Working Group who help with the
process of developing the SVG specification. These people
are too numerous to list individually, but are greatly appreciated.
They include but are not limited to the early implementers of the SVG
languages (including viewers, authoring tools, and server-side
transcoders), developers of SVG content, people who have
contributed on the www-svg@w3.org and
svg-developers@yahoogroups.com email lists, other Working
Groups at the W3C, and the W3C Team. SVG is truly a
cooperative effort between the SVG Working Group, the rest of
the W3C, and the public, and benefits greatly from the
pioneering work of early implementers and content developers,
and from public feedback.
